Here is my new rig. (3 imgs)

My new rig. Described from left to right. 72mm rubber lens hood, Nikon 3X TC-E3ED, 37-28mm step-down ring, 40.5-37mm step-down ring, Q lens 01, Pentax Q, Carry Speed VF-3 LCD Viewfinder.






Check this out. Pentax Q + lens 01 (8.5mm) + Nikon 3X at 1/8000s, f2.5, ISO250, handheld. Subject is about 75 feet (23 meters). Click Original link to full sixe images.

The original with vignetting -






Cropped from 4000x3000 to 2421x1816 and processed. -






I think I am going to keep my Nikon 3X TC-E3ED, Nikon 2X TC-E2, and Nikon 0.67X WC-E67. These three paried with the Q lens 01 give me 31mm f1.9, 47mm f1.9, 94mm f1.9, and a 141mm f1.9 that requires a crop of about 40 to 50%. It looks good to me.

Now, wasn't that fun folks.

Cheers.

Ron

But does it still fit in your pocket?

Looks like a weapon, I'd keep it at home

Ron the Q was made for you!

Well said Ed! While the image quality seems to be quite good, doesn't all this kit miss the point of pocketable? It would be easier to carry around my K7 it seems. That said, KEEP IT UP! I always enjoy all the experiments you conduct and your photos.

Ron, you are, indeed, the quintessential/wikipedia (notarised) definition of:

a lad with waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on his hands

And I, for one, am extremely glad you do .... that's an amazing .......... item

Cheers,

jack

Nothing like long cold winter days to get the creativity going .... especially with a nice warm house/apt to relax in
